Playing House as Cindy Smith

Just thinking about how much our ideas of glamour and substance change as we age...

I was a child of the 80's and my sister and I always "changed" our names when we played house. Did anyone else do this? For whatever reason, we always fought over who got to be called CindySmith. I don't remember how we decided that this was the penultimate absolutely fabulous name of the universe, but I do remember fighting about it. Maybe it was all those lovely "s" sounds?

What was your fantasy name as a child? What would it be today? Not for a new baby, but if you could reinvent yourself?
